No, DJ Sbu and Gogo Maweni Were NOT Involved in Zahara’s Death – Here’s the Truth

Following the tragic passing of beloved South African singer Zahara (Bulelwa Mkutukana), a wave of conspiracy theories has flooded social media—accusing celebrities like DJ Sbu and Gogo Maweni of being involved in her death.

But here’s the truth: There is no official evidence or credible report linking either of them to Zahara’s passing.

🕊️ Zahara’s Real Cause of Death

Zahara sadly passed away in December 2023 after being hospitalized for liver complications, reportedly stemming from liver cirrhosis. According to reputable media outlets and statements from her family, her health had been declining for some time.

While her death devastated fans and the entertainment industry, it did not involve foul play—despite what social media might claim.

🔥 Where the Rumors Started

The allegations began circulating on platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, where users began drawing unverified links between Zahara’s past fallout with DJ Sbu (over music royalties) and her untimely death. Others referenced Gogo Maweni due to her controversial persona as a traditional healer, speculating on “spiritual attacks” without any evidence.

None of these claims have been backed by:

• Police reports

• Family statements

• Legal filings

• Trusted news platforms

🎙️ DJ Sbu Speaks Out

In an emotional interview after Zahara’s death, DJ Sbu responded to the online hate:

“I’m heartbroken like everyone else. People are trying to make me a villain, but I loved Zahara. We made history together.”

He clarified that any outstanding business issues with Zahara had long been closed and that they hadn’t been in contact for years before her passing.

🧿 Gogo Maweni Responds

While Gogo Maweni hasn’t released a detailed statement about the Zahara rumors, she has dismissed similar accusations in the past as “baseless” and “dangerous.” There is no public record of her having any personal or professional connection to Zahara.

⚖️ Let’s Stick to the Facts

Zahara’s death was a personal tragedy, not a celebrity conspiracy. Online speculation without evidence only brings more pain to her family, fans, and friends who are still grieving.

Let’s honor her legacy with truth, respect, and compassion—not clickbait and rumor.
